GENERAL INFORMATION

Whenever a boat is moving (coasting) and the outboard gear shift is in neutral position, there is sufficient

force by the water on the propeller to cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can

cause serious injury.

WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY

WARNING

Stop your engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your boat. Serious injury to the

person in the water is likely if contacted by a rotating propeller, a moving boat, a moving gearcase, or

any solid device rigidly attached to a moving boat or gearcase.

Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to swim or be in the water near

your boat.

Passenger Safety Message ‑ Pontoon Boats And Deck Boats

Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all passengers. Do not allow any passengers to

stand or use seats other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed. A sudden reduction

in boat speed, such as plunging into a large wave or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp change

of boat direction, could throw them over the front of the boat. Falling over the front of the boat between

the two pontoons will position them to be run over by the outboard.

BOATS HAVING AN OPEN FRONT DECK

No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the boat is in motion. Keep all passengers

behind the front fence or enclosure.

Persons on the front deck could easily be thrown overboard or persons dangling their feet over the front

edge could get their legs caught by a wave and pulled into the water.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from falling over the front end of a pontoon or deck boat and being run

over. Stay back from the front end of the deck and remain seated while the boat is in motion.

BOATS WITH FRONT MOUNTED, RAISED PEDESTAL FISHING SEATS

Elevated fishing seats are not intended for use when the boat is traveling faster than idle or trolling speed.

Sit only in seats designated for traveling at faster speeds.

Any unexpected, sudden reduction in boat speed could result in the elevated passenger falling over the

front of the boat.
